Dear Grow Community
This week was an exciting week, so I will divide it into three parts.
1st plants in general: This week they have grown very well and I have the feeling she has come into preflowering (but I am not 100% sure). 4 plants have reached a height of almost 30cm, but one is still very small.
2. pests: I found out what was nibbling on my plants, they were fungus gnat. These mosquitoes dig themselves into the soil and lay eggs there. From the eggs hatch maggots which eat the roots of the plants. I had to buy beneficial insects that eat the maggots.
3rd LST: This is my first time using LST (help and feedback is welcome). I started training 5 out of 8 plants to compare the results at the end. I enjoyed working with my plants and they seem to like it. The secondary branches are now growing much stronger and I have already tied some down.
Next week i gonna start to feed them with bloom nutrients.
Best wishes

Special thanks to @DILLIGAF and @Majormolasses
When I wanted to water my plants this morning, I discovered that a leaf was nibbled on. I searched the whole tent for snails and caterpillars but found none. What could it be? Please give me a quick answer, I don't want to lose the plant. Also, the tips of my leafs turnet yellow.
@absolutgrow Hi mate whatever it is it sure took a decent bite Could be a rogue grasshopper or something
What I would do is spray the plants with a bug/insect deterrent such as neem oil or diatomaceous earth mixed with water This will keep them away from your plants Hope I answered your question and Good Luck
Honestly they do look very nice for auto flowers and lookng back they didn't start to yellow until you switched to flower and changed the nutrient line up .. I know that auto flowers go faster and turn that leaf into a feeding system about now ..maby they got burned just a bit in the transition to flower bloomers ..stress can cause that too to much water , not big enough container ii n flower ..hopefully it's just the strain and genetics besides that they are growing good ..good luck..
They are looking very good glad you found your problem nothing like getting the ship 🛳️ back to sail 🌱👌😁 happy growing. Don’t forget to pick a answer to last weeks questions lol
@absolutgrow, haha I'm a new grower too bro just lots of likes from spending (too?) Much time on this site 😂 looks like pre flowers to me man , they're healthy imho
@CRiSPrGrow, Thanks man, i hope they work. Due to several prizes and your grandmaster status I think you are an experienced grower :). I would like to ask you if the lighter color is normal in the places where new leaves grow or if they have a deficit? Much respect and happy growing!
@Majormolasses, Hey man, first of all thanks for the compliment :D. Its my first real grow and im realy passioned about it. Also thanks for you're advice! I found out what it was, the fungus gnat (i couldn't find the english word). These little fuckers eat your plant and lay egs in your soil, then their children eat the roots of the plant. I had to get other insects which i put into the soil and they're supposed to eat the grubs. I hope it will solve the problem. I also spray the plants with neem oil.
I'm looking forward to take a look at your RQS diary :)
They look good ! I grow the same strain, I also have 2 very tall plants compared to the other, what I can see so far is that plants with LST have made bigger buds and plants without are too tall with smaller buds.. I personally prefer bushy ones with big buds 😋
@Paulolo03, Hey man, i also use LST and untrained plants to compare at the end :). I didnt't expect such a difference in hight to be honest. But we gonna see what yields the best.
Very beautiful plants. I'm about to harvest mine who suffered during the grow but are still beautiful, I can't imagine how yours will be ! I can predict a very decent harvest. They aren't big but pay attention to the buds, they gonna get fat !! It's what happened with mine ! Keep doing what you do, I think you're doing a great job ;)
+1 strain
